The debate over the premier T20 league in the world continues to enthrall fans and players alike. The Indian Premier League (IPL) and the Pakistan Super League (PSL) stand out as two of the most competitive and glamorous tournaments, each boasting its unique flair and a plethora of international talent.

Babar Azam stands firm on PSL's superiority over IPL

This rivalry between leagues often leads to intriguing discussions among fans and experts about which one holds the crown as the ultimate T20 competition. Recently, former Pakistan captain Babar Azam added his voice to the debate during a live session on Twitter.

When asked about his preference between the IPL and the PSL, Babar unhesitatingly sided with the PSL as the superior T20 league.

“PSL is the best league in the world,” said Babar.


Babar Azam preference for the PSL over the IPL can be seen as a natural expression of loyalty to his national league. However, the IPL's unmatched scale, wealth, and global viewership continue to set it apart in the cricketing world.

While the PSL has made significant strides in showcasing Pakistan's cricketing talent and competitive spirit, the IPL's broader international appeal and financial clout remain unparalleled. His endorsement of the PSL highlights the national pride that influences players' preferences, yet the IPL's global stature as a T20 behemoth is undeniable.

Meanwhile, Babar’s recent performances have been a topic of discussion among cricket circles. Following a period of underwhelming displays, including a challenging ICC World Cup 2023 and series against Australia and New Zealand, Babar has shown signs of returning to form in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).

Despite his contributions to the Rangpur Riders, Babar candidly admitted his dissatisfaction with his current form, signalling his commitment to continuous improvement and adaptation to varying playing conditions.
